SAIRAS Basil Seeds (Sabja) | Indian Specialties | Sairas

Culinary profile

SAIRAS basil seeds, known as Sabja in Indian cuisine and Tukmaria in Persian tradition, are an essential ingredient for those who appreciate texture. After a brief soak in water, the seeds form a gelatinous coating that has a pleasantly neutral and refreshing taste. They are a staple for lovers of oriental markets and authentic ingredients in Hamburg.

Uses & Recipes

Sabja seeds are the heart of classic desserts like falooda . Soak 1-2 teaspoons of the seeds in cold water for about 10 minutes, until fully swollen. They are excellent for:

• Sharbat & Drinks: In combination with rose syrup (Rooh Afza) or lemonades.
• Puddings & Desserts: As a topping for rice pudding or vegan bowls.
• Persian specialties: Traditional soft drinks with saffron and rose water.
